write of ballplayers unknown and famous
from spring training to the classic of fall
poetry of base bat and ball
provided without even writ of mandamus

i shall look up mandamus

but i am gonna guess you are saying we do it for the pleasure

Exactly. A writ of mandamus is an old legal mechanism to force a public official to carry out his or her duty. But you guys do your duty as poets for the thing itself, as should be.

A third baseman known for crashing into outfield walls,
Stashed by one GM in the minors, only to be signed by another team with that same GM,
Fractured his skull during wartime before he was drafted....
